My seramas are growing like weeds.

My nine are doing well. Some a smaller than the others; one a lot smaller. It always amazes me that the chicks can vary greatly in size when the eggs are exactly the same size.

Next week my avatar hen hatches. Of the original seven, four are looking good; three have died in development.

My wife would love to have a serama like your top picture. Always surprises me how quickly they grow when compared to my other breeds.

Im gonna breed them...then keep some then sell fertile eggs. Id love to show but not sure what you have to do for that.

I see two roosters and four pullets as you believe. Top picture is a pullet.

Since serama mature months sooner than other breeds, it is doubtful that there will be any surprises; two roosters-four pullets. My 3 month old serama rooster's hens were producing fertile eggs. I had no older rooster.

Showing is so much fun! Look up serama table top on youtube... this is a good video... its a lot more exiting in real life

The reason they are clapping so much is to get the attention of the bird, and to get the bird exited. in table top you want your roosters to be alert, and you get more points if your bird flaps his wing, or crows. you want them to walk around on the table so that the judge can see the way that your bird walks around. My rooster can be pretty shy, but when he gets to a show he was super confident and was ready to go

Im hoping that ones a hen. I hope I only have two roos and 4 hens.

I only see two roos... It could still change... maybe one is a little developmentally slow

I'n pretty happy with this one; eight weeks-4 ounces.
